Princess Caroline's gown is something I might have expected Princess Stephanie in her younger years to choose because of her rebel image.

Conversely, Princess Stephanie's romantic gown is what I thought her sister would have preferred for this event.

Is Princess Caroline going through some experimental stage? An event like this, I assumed, would have made her fashion and competitive juices flowing, like she did in past years. Her look at her brother's wedding ball had the same watered down quality. Where is that "I'm Grace Kelly's daughter and I'll eat you alive, thank you very much" attitude that she proudly sported all her life???

As for Stephanie, girl seems allergic to jewelry. And as much as the gown in itself is beautiful, the shapeless bodice doesn't do her any favors. She needs a tighter fit that would feature her figure and balance her strong shoulders.

Thanks for the link of Royal fashionistas - the pics there are lovely, Princess Charlene truly looked stunning (and the breathtaking necklace/tiara)! They made a lovely couple with Prince Albert (who really likes the white dinner jacket).
Princess Caroline´s gown was ridiculous, such an attire wouldn´t do any justice even to the most beautiful woman in the world.
Princess Stephanie looked good, better than she used to look in past years.
Elisabeth de Massy looked horribly thin, but elegant.

I think that Caroline's gown is awful. Better for a costume ball, not the biggest ball in Monaco's social schedule. It looks like a design by the African designer Duro Olowu. She wore one of his designs to the RCB 2010. I can't find a runway picture of the dress that Caroline is wearing tonight, but thispictureis from his 2011 collection and looks quite similar to tonight's 2011 RCB gown.

Sorry agogo ,but I don´t agree with you .... I like Princess Caroline´s dress ; it is really different and original.... I am bored of strapless mono-colour dresses .....

In addition , as the president of AMADE , Princess Caroline is trying to promote new designers coming from undeveloped countries. Great for her :flowers .... IMO she is the only one of the family who can wear this type of designs , because she has innate style .... Charlene or Stephanie could never wear an outfit like this ....

I'm sorry Charlotte might be able to pull it off but the design is to youthful for Caroline. What she wore for the wedding was also terrible on her and Steph looked good. Its as if the sisters have switched roles on who dresses better.

I miss the days when the sisters really dressed for a Ball. No Trio and Chris Levine and his wife are missing as well.
